^TTHIS pamplilet is issued for two reasons. First, as a
^^ medium for setting forth sundry notes regarding the
Nortons, gathered in various ways. Second, in hopes that
more interest in genealogy will be created in the
different branches of the family and that all will work for
a Norton Genealogy that shall be as complete as possible.
One correspondent suggests a Family Association, with
yearly meetings, etc.

I hereby express my thanks for notes and data to
Miss Mary E. Brooks of Torrington, Conn., (custodian of
all records compiled by her grandfather, Lewis M. Norton,
who in his day (died 1860) possessed more information
regarding the Nortons than any other living man) , also to
Miss Frances A. Norton and Mr. George C. Norton of
Buffalo, N. Y.

The plus (t) mark indicates that I possess data
regarding descendants and would be glad to hear from any
one interested.

WALTER W. NORTON.

Lakeville, Conn., August 1909.

The History of the Norton family begins at the time of
the Norman Conquest when Le Signeur de Norville crossed
over to England with King William the Conqueror,
September 29, 1066, and was his Constable.

The name at that time being Norville which in French
signified North Village; the name being changed long
afterwards to Nor-ton, which in English is, North-town. It
is supposed that all the families of this name in England,
Ireland and America were derived from one man.

John Norton born about 1622 probably at London,
3rd son of Richard Norton and Ellen Rowley, daughter of
Thomas, emigrated to America, and as far as we know
came first to Bran ford, Conn, ^ His name firet appears on
the records there on the first page of the first book July 7,
1646, in a list among whom lands were to be divided.
These were records of the early acts if not the first acts of
the proprietors, or planters as the}^ were commonly called.
His name appears repeatedly to 1648 in similar lists. The
first inhabitants of Branford were from Wethersfield, Conn.,
and from Southampton, L. I., and the settlement is said to
have been begun in 1644, but the laying out of the lands
was not begun before 1646. John Norton removed from
Branford to Hartford about 1659.

The description of his Hartford property seems to be
worth an insertion in this place. It is on "The original
distribution of the lands of Hartford, page 452 and 455."
Sept. 29, 1659 he made a purchase in Hartford of Jasper
Gunn - - - of several pieces of land, ''and housing". He
probably left Branford at about that time - - - but was
before a proprietor in the new township of Farmington.

"Land in Hartford upon the river of Connecticut,
belonging to John Norton and his heirs f()rever, - - - one
parcel of which he bought of Jasper Gunn, containing
by estimation one acre and two roods, be it more or less,
together with a house and barn standing thereon ; wdiich
parcel of land abutts on the highway leading from the old
ox-pasture to the mill, on the west side of land appointed
for a burying place and on Charles Fox's land on the East
and on John Stedman's land on the South - - - and on
O. (0 zias) Goodwin's land on the North.

Next are described seven pieces more, a part of wliicli
was on the "East side of the great river," - - containing
in all about 35 acres. The next and last piece is thus
described, • - "More one parcel of wood land which he
bought of Jasper Gunn, lying in the ox-pasture, containing
by estimation thirty acres, be it more or less, abutting on
John Pantry's land on the South and on a highway lying
in that ox-pasture on the East on Mill river on the West."

"Those parcels of land were purchased of Jasper Gunn,
and passed over to John Norton by a deed of sale Sept. 29,
1629 - - but it should have been 59, - - which deed was
witnessed by Messrs. John Steel, and John Sumor.
Recorded this 15th day of Feb. 1666, per me - - John
Allyn Register."

"These parcels of land above written are all sold to
Ensign Jarred Spencer, and stand recorded to him in the
445th page of this book. John Allyn Register."

On the page above referred to is a deed from John
Norton - - "Land in Hartford upon the river of Connecti-
cut, belonging to Ensign Jarred Spencer and his heirs for-
ever, which he purchased of John Norton. Then follows
a description of all the above said pieces. "February 1666,
John Norton ordered me to record these parcels above
written to Ensign Jarred Spencer he having sold them to
him. John Allyn, Register."

There is next following a receipt signed by John
Norton. "These presents witness that whereas Jarred
Spencer of Hartford was indebted unto me John Norton of
Farmington the sum of one hundred twenty-two pounds
and ten shillings, for certain parcels of land and housing
situated at Hartford", etc., This was dated Feb. 23, 1664.

With respect to the question - - When did John
Norton remove to Farmington? - - the best evidence to be

8

found ill the record of the baptism of his son Samuel "May
30, 1659.

On the Proprietor's Book in Farmington his name
appears among the 84 proprietors in the First Division of
lands - - and onward. The town was hicorpoiated 1645.
There can be little doubt that he was a proprietor there
several years before his settlement in Farmington even
possibly before he removed to Branford. Made free at
Hartford May 21, 1664. He was then of Farmington.
Joined the church in Farmington in October 1661.

He married first Dorothy who died

in Branford, Jan. 24, 1652. Married second Elizabeth

who died in Branford, Nov. 6, 1657,
and third Elizabeth Clark, who died in Farmington Nov.,
8, 1702, said to be sister of John Clark of Saybrook. He
died in Farmington Nov. 5, 1709.

ii Sarah, b. Apr. 28, 1766, m. John Elliott.

Rev. John Elliott, b.Aug. 24,1768, in Killingworth,

Hannah (Ely) Elliott, grandson of Rev. Jared Elliott,

13

great grandson of Rev. Joseph Elliott and the g g
grandson of Rev. John Elliott, the apostle to the
Indians. Dr. Elliott made a deep impression upon
the people of Madison. "He had the dignity, gi-avity,
sedateness and general bearing of the gentleman of
the olden time. He was precise in speech and
methodical in all his movements." Dr. Todd says:
"He was a tall, very thin and slim man. His legs
always draped in black stockings and small clothes
seemed too slender to hold him up. His manners
and bearing were most gentlemanly. He was a fine
scholar, a genuine lover of study, a capital preacher,
a wise and shrewd man, etc. He was graduated at
Yale College in 1786, was a Congregational clergy-
man, received degree of D. D. from Yale, of which
College he was a trustee about twelve years. Settled
as a minister at Madison, Conn., Nov. 2, 1791, ad-
mitted 335 persons to the church, and continud such

and died July 9, 1841.

Gen. Elisha Sterling, oldest son of Capt. William
Sterling of Lyme, was married to Alma Canfield,
daughter of the Hon. John Canfield of Sharon, Conn.,
Jan. 1791. "Gen. Sterling, born in Lyme, Nov. 5,
1763, was graduated at Yale College in 1787. That
he sustained a good standing, is evinced bj' his
having an honorable share in the Commencement
exercises. Immediately after his graduation, he
assumed charge of an Academy, then recently
established in Shai'on, and during the two years
it was under his tuition and management, it became
very thoroughly established and popularly known.
While at the head of the Academy, he pursued the
study of Law with the Hon. John Canfield, and was
admitted to the Bar in 1789 and immediately opened
an office in Salisbury. He was very fortunate in his
place of settlement, and soon found himself engaged
in lucrative practice, which he pursued with much
industry. He was, at an early pei-iod, appointed
Attorney for the State, and annually re-appointed

14

for many years, until a political change in the
County Court led to a change. The propriety of his
management as a public prosecutor was never ques-
tioned, even by his political opponents. In addition
to the office of State's Attorney, he for nine years
held the office of Judge of Probate for the District
of Sharon, an office then depending upon the annual
appointment of the Legislature and until for a like
cause above mentioned, he was required to give
place to another of different political opinions and
the latter office he held two or three years after he
ceased to be of the then healthy political faith."—
(From "Lights of the Litchfield Bar.") Twice he
represented the 17th Senatorial District in the Senate
and for several years represented the Town in the
General Assembly. In 1793 he was made Captain
and in 1800 Brigade Major and Inspector. In 1809 he
was made Colonel and in 1814 while in command of
his Regiment at Groton, he received his commission
as Brigadier General. In 1815 he was made Major
General of Connecticut Militia.

Alma Oanfield, wife of Gen. Sterling, born Dec. 30,
1774, died March 11, 1830, and he married for his
second wife, Mrs. Sarah Norton Elliott, the widow
of the Rev. Dr. John Elliott, of Madison, Conn.
Gen. Sterling died Dec. 3, 1836.

Thomas Norton came to Gnilford with Rev. Mr. Whit-
field in 1639, was a signer of the Plantation Covenant, and
served the town as its miller until his death in 1648. He
is stated to have been a church warden of Mr. Whitfield's
parish at Ockley in Surrey, a few miles south of London,
England, and has been thought to have been connected
with the Nortons of Sharpenhow, Bedfordshire, (New Eng.
Register, Vol. XIII., p., 225) Dea. Lewis M. Norton of
Goshen, Conn, identified him with with Thomas, son of
Wm. Norton and his second wife Denice Cholmsly, and put
the date of his birth as about 1582. His home lot in
Guilford contained two acres and was on the west side of
Crooked Lane (now State Street.) This lot fell to his son
John, on Thomas Norton's death, and afterwards was
occupied by Lieut. William Seward, his son-in-law.
Thomas Norton also owned seventeen and one-half of
"upland in the plains" and a parcel of one and one-half
acres of marsh land by the sea-side. His wife was named
Grace and her maiden name is supposed to have been Wells.

The covenant made by Mr. Whitfield's company and
signed on shipboard was as follows: "We whose names are
hereunder written intending by God's gracious permission
to plant ourselves in New England, and, if it may be, in
the southerly part about Quinnipiac: we do faithfully
promise each to each, for ourselves and families, and those
that belong to us, that we will, the Lord assisting us, sit'
down and join ourselves together in one entire plantation ;
and to be helpful each to the other in every common work,
according to every man's ability and as need shall require;
and we promise not to desert or leave each other or the
plantation, but with the consent of the rest or the greater
part of the company who have entered into this engage-
ment. As for our gathering together in a church way,
and the choice of officers and members to be joined
together in that way, we do refer ourselves until such time
as it shall please God to settle us in our plantation.

In witness whereof we subscribe our hands the first
day of June 1639.

Nicholas Norton, born, 1610; died 1690; wife
Elizabeth settled, first, in Weymouth, Mass., later
on Martha's Vineyard, Mass., (Munsell's American
Ancestry, Vol. X, p. 88.) That he was in Wey-
mouth in 1639 is apparent from the following :
"Nicholas (Norton) , Weymouth, bought Feb. 20,
1639, of Richard Standerwick of Broadway, Somer-
set county, clothier, all the cattle in the hands of
Mr. Hull in New England (Plymouth Colony
record) (Pope's Pioneers of Mass., p. 332) The
records of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Vol. IV,
part 1, show that Nicholas was living as late as May
15, 1657, in Weymouth. Nicholas allotted in Wey-
mouth : "six acres in mill ffield" and "Five acres
adoyning to John Whitman's greate lot;." (History
of Weymouth, Mass., p. 263.) A great lot was
assigned to Nicholas, Feb. 3, 1651. This lot was
situated on the east side of the Great Pond (History
of Weymouth pp. 281-82.) July 23, 1645: the
town ordered : All hogs also all Pigs over 8 weeks
yoked except Nicholas Norton's," etc. Nicholas
residence is Here referred to as being opposite the
great swamp. In 1646 he was a constable and
collector of rates (taxes) . He was made a rater
(or assessor) Nov. 26, 1651 and in 1656 was reim-
bursed for the loss of an ox (Records of the Mass.,
Bay Colony, Vol. IV, part 1, p. 303.) There was

thetowu mill, 3,500 feet, 2,000 feet, 4,000 feet are
specified. He was wood ward July 14, 16o8 and
received in 16G0, £1 from the town for kilhng a
wolf (From records of Weymouth, Mass.) The
Indian chief Wanepetuck and three other chiefs
executed a deed without date conveying land m
Weymouth to Nicholas Norton , and sixty other
persons which was confirmed by the Court m the
vear 1685 Land was allotted to Nicholas m

Tisbury township, Martha's Yineyard,Mass."Febru-
arytheO- 1681-82; "whereas we James Allen and
Thomas Mayhew was appointed by the freeholders
of Tisbury to Layout unto Those men swamp or Low
land which had none or but little to their house lots
making them equal with others as near as we could
and in order there unto we have Layed out all the

the third to Nicholas Norton the fourth to Curnelas

Allen being the last upon that book iTisbury Town
Records, page 15). When this grant was made
Nicholas had probably lived on Martha's Vineyard
about twenty years. Both Nicholas and wite
Elizabeth died in 1690. The will of Nicholas
Norton, made in 1690, names seven daughters. It

Higginson to Salem in 1629. Took the freeman's oath
May 14, 1634. There is some evidence that he was a
carpenter by trade. Was connected with a company wlio
obtained leave from General Court to settle Jeffrey's Creek
in 1640, afterwards called Manchester. Removed to
Gloucester about 1641. Was representative of that town
1642-3-4. Moved back to Salem 1644. Was dismissed

Oct. 7,SaraliHart, who d. 1682,Jui)e 23, at Snffield.
George in. second Mercy Gillett(widoM')of Windsor.
The town of Suffield agreed with George Norton and
Richard Austin 1695 to make all the windows for
the minister's house at eighteen pence per light and
to pay for the same in provision and flax. The
early records of the town of Ipswich are stated
to be very imperfect, and mutilated, there being but
few records of births, deaths and marriages prior to
1680. The Church records of the first parish have
been destroyed or cannot be found to about 1775.
It is evident that the first five children of this George
Norton were born in Ipswich, but that he afterwards
became a settler at Suffield, Conn. From the rec-
ords of the doings of the Committee for the man-
agement of Stony Brook Plantation (Suffield)
it appears that a grant of 60 acres of land (15
acres of it on High Street) was made to George
-Norton Sept. 14, 1674. The settlement of the
plantation was broken up in 1675 on account of the
war with the Indians commonly known as Philip's
war; but was commenced again at its close in
1676-7. The name of George Norton occurs as an
inhabitant there as early as Sept. 25, 1677. He is
called Ensign Norton in the list of voters March 9,
1682. He was chosen one of the selectman in 1693
and was sent a representative to the general Court in
Boston the same year, at which time he is called

54

Captain Norton. In the Probate records in Hamp-
shire, Book 3, pages 36—37, is found the settlement
of the estate of this Capt. George Norton, dated March
31 , 1698. Mercy was his widow — his sons: George,
Thomas, Nathaniel and Freegrace. His daughters:
Sarah, Alice, Mary, Abigail, Joanna and Elizabeth
in the above order: Thomas, Nathaniel and Alice
were then of Ipswich He d. 1696, Nov 15, (Notes
arranged by L. M. N.)
